Independence Day: Resurgence - Extended Trailer

In the extended trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence, it's been 20 years since the world escaped the clutches of extinction. David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) tells the son (Jessie Usher) of the deceased Steve Hiller (Will Smith), "Your father was the bravest man I've ever seen." After the events of the first movie, the world has become a technological wonderland equipped for alien invasion. We see space stations, supersonic jets and air force pilots, one of whom is played by Liam Hemsworth. All appears to be well until a voice is heard saying "We found something out here."

An alien spacecraft has been found in the desert. "Oh my god," Levinson exclaims when he sees that the ship has been powered on. "How did they get the lights on?" A military officer corrects him. "We didn't. It happened on its own two days ago."

It is revealed that the mothership destroyed in 1996 sent out a message to the cosmos - a distress call. Disaster footage from the alien's retaliation is then shown, along with the text: "We had 20 years to prepare. So did they." We then see the aliens in captivity, followed by former President Whitmore (Bill Pullman) voluntarily offering himself as the human host for the aliens. With the aliens controlling his mind, the President whispers, "She has arrived."
